So, you disregarded her claims until you saw that they matched up with some existing beliefs of yours. That’s called confirmation bias. Gotta be careful with that.

You mean the "confirmation bias" of SATAN/LUCIFER, the father of all lies? Well, YES.
I "gotta be careful" to stay away from Lucifer, the father of evil/of all lies. Or do you believe in Flip Wilson's "the Devil made me do it"?

Satan lured them; they said YES to Satan and NO to God.
It's not that complicated, is it?

No, I mean the psychological phenomenon of confirmation bias, which is regarding information more favorably if it confirms your existing beliefs. Just because you believe in Satan, and the evil that he promotes, does not mean that this girls’ story should become any more believable to you than it was before you read that part. Her story is full of holes, so you should be able to see she is just a liar, whether or not her lies dovetail with some of your own beliefs.
